It was just as you're describing. I ignored it as long as I could and then finally had to go to the ER. Then I had pancreatitis from ignoring it.

Sounds like gall bladder to me!

Four weeks out had pain back side lower that went up into my shoulder on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 9 on last Sunday. I am on the pills to prevent stones for two weeks as my doctor told me this is a complication.

Doctor ordered an ultrasound it came back negative pain has all but went away.

Everyone has different symptoms... I suggest going to your doctor. It's just a simple scan to find out if it IS your gallbladder.. then you can figure things out from there.

thank you guys. i threw up 2 times last night outta nowhere and then i felt better. im guessing that if it is gallbladder the pain wouldnt have gone away so fast. now im worried about gout though. my uric acid levels are high and until now i have been without signs, but now my big toe started hurting outta nowhere. its stiff, and tender to the touch. i have a doctors appointment on monday and gonna tell him about all the problems. hopefully its not gallbladder or gout. until now i have had no complications. i would like to keep it that way :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
